Arief Yudhanto, PhD

Biography

Dr. Yudhanto is a Research Scientist studying the mechanical properties and damage mechanism of composite materials. He's been involved in several projects: continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic laminates for structural applications (impact, in-situ characterization, micro/meso-mechanics); electrical characterization and damage in 3D textile and carbon/epoxy composites; nano-composites; tailoring interfacial adhesion in adhesively-bonded composite joints; soft robotics.
